She refused medical attention because that is not a cut. Any doctor or nurse or even a non professional can see that's not a cut but an abrasion. No doubt composed of many light self inflicted strokes. A thief would never take that much time to make all those many scratches.

For those who seem so sure she did this to herself, how do you explain the obvious beating she took? It is perfectly logical that the attacker, having knocked her to the ground, would kneel over her head to work on her face, thus leaving it upside down on her face. It was not upside down to him. None of us was there, but it is a plausible explanation.

Sorry to say but as a Physician, those lacerations (if you want to call them that)could not come from a knife of any sort, sharp or dull. Also, from the way her cheek is manifesting as red and irritated (synonymous for scratches) makes it an easy prognosis for me:

This is indeed a self-inflicted 'wound' most likely done with either a paper clip or quite possibly a fingernail.

If you would look at the BOTTOM of the letter, there are 2 DISTINCT and SEPARATE marks (what did the mugger do? Go over the same area with a different line?). This is not plausible in any form.

This is a fraudulent attempt at falsifying an attack and is illegal since a police report was filed. Why was she allowed to 'walk away' from the scene or a mugging/attack?

She never offered a description of her attacker other than he was 'supposedly' an Obama supporter. Was he white, black, latino??This is outrageous and demands further scrutiny. Also suspect are the blackeyes. Although real, the contusions are not reminiscent of a frontal punch as there are no abrasions/contusions above the eye socket (men have big, large knuckles) and the area around the eye socket is sensitive soft tissues. This woman is committing fraud via Munchhausen By Proxy and should be jailed for submitting a false police report/complaint. And the only reason WHY she would refuse to seek medical treatment is that she knows her story would not hold up under a physicians examination.

And no, I am not an Obama supporter, I am voting McCain but these false allegations and rumors must stop. As a Dr, I can not fathom why people go to great lengths to lie about being attacked.

Someone needs to have her examined for 'a possible concussion' from being 'punched in the head', that alone would have allowed the police to forcefully admit her as if she in some way passes out while driving home after the 'attack, the police department would be liable for allowing her to leave with possible 'brain trauma'.

There is no way she got those so called injuries from any attack. And the B on her face: the attacker straddled her head?? You can't hold someone down while straddling their heads facing the legs. I mean come on.

She deserves to be thrown in jail for lying and quite possibly trying to make it into a black on white hate crime with the added bonus that it was a OBAMA supporter.

Only dumb@sses and fools would believe this concocted story.And she will see a doctor tomorrow, almost 48 hours later?? Maybe she needs time to get her injuries more realistic but medical professionals wi;; see through the smokescreen if the injuries are too fresh. Hope they haul her @ss to jail ASAP.

Some very good points made here by all of you. There is skepticism on the right about the alleged attack. I just posted on that. How sad either way - If it's not true, how pathetic to fake such a thing. If it is true - well, that's terrible too.

I'll bet the farm this is total nonsense and here's why:what kind of mugger successfully robs a person and then casually follows them around for a bit? Most attackers run like hell and get out of the area. Does anyone honestly believe he just happened to notice her BUMPER STICKERS and then flew into a rage and then lightly, carefully and precisely scratched a small "B" into the middle of her cheek WITHOUT breaking the skin? This wound is self-inflicted: it's too careful and shows signs of repetitive scratching over the same pattern over and over again - slowly. The fact the "B" is backwards fits perfectly though this fact is not necessary to prove my point. Though the police report indicates it was the RIGHT side of her face - so the picture is not flipped! It IS backwards. And before anyone tries: I was a McCain supporter and I like him a lot - but I have ZERO tolerance for Bull sh it.Remember this story well people - I'll bet my right arm it proves to be a hoax. Nothing about it has the ring of truth.

I believe this is a perfect example of conservative politics and the Mccain campaign as a whole. Fear and lies. Without fear and lies the conservative movement would never get elected to anything. Its why republicans fear peace because with it the lies and fear would fade away and no one would listen to them again. They should make this chick the conservative/ republican poster child.

Anybody else notice the scratch on (our right) her left side of her cheek? Could she not decide which side of her face she wanted to carve into?

Also, for those who think that it is a real black eye, look at her eyelid of (our right) her left eye. There is a faint little black line, possible eyeliner and if she was punched in the eye, wouldn't her whole eye area be bruised, not just the part underneath it?
